一、课文原文及逐段翻译
Reading and Thinking · LIVING LEGENDS 活着的传奇（郎平与迈克尔·乔丹）
选人标准原文：Help us choose some "Living Legends of Sports". They must be athletes who are masters in their sports and also set good examples for others. Here are our first two choices.
译文：来帮助我们选出"体育界的活传奇"吧。他们必须所在运动项目上的大师，并且是他人学习的楷模。以下是我们首批筛选出来的两位传奇人物。
郎平原文：As a player, Lang Ping brought honour and glory to her country. As a coach, she led the China women's volleyball team to medals at world championships and the Olympics. As a person, Lang Ping is loved by fans at home and abroad. When the Chinese team was preparing for the 2015 World Cup, her determination was tested. The team that Lang Ping had built was falling apart. One of the best players had been injured, and the team captain had to leave because of heart problems. Losing two important players was a big challenge, but Lang Ping did not lose heart. She had faced difficulties before, and she knew that her young players could win if they worked together as a team. Two weeks later, they were world champions! Then in 2016, Lang Ping led her volleyball team to Olympic gold in Brazil.
译文：作为一名运动员，郎平为她的国家带来了诸多荣誉。作为一名教练，她带领中国女排在世界锦标赛和奥运会上屡获殊荣。作为个人，郎平深受国内外球迷的喜爱。当中国队在准备2015年世界杯时，她的决心受到了考验。郎平组建的团队处于崩溃的边缘。最优秀的队员中有一人受伤了，而且队长也因心脏问题而离队。失去两大主力队员是一个巨大的挑战，但郎平并没有灰心。她以前也遇到过各种困难，她知道只要她这些年轻的运动员们拧成一股绳通力合作，就能获胜。两周后，她们真成了世界冠军！随后在2016年，郎平又带领她的排球队在巴西勇夺奥运会金牌。
乔丹原文：When Michael Jordan's feet left the ground, time seemed to stand still. The player who became known as "Air Jordan" changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps. Jordan's skills were impressive, but the mental strength that he showed made him unique. In the final seconds of a game, Jordan always seemed to find a way to win. Jordan says that the secret to his success is learning from his failures. "I can accept failure; everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying." Losing games taught him to practise harder and never give up. In life, Jordan has learnt to share his success with others. The Boys and Girls Club which he started in Chicago has been helping young people since 1996.
译文：迈克尔·乔丹双脚离地的那一瞬间时，时间似乎都凝固了。这位被称为"飞人乔丹"的运动员用他那优雅的动作和跳跃改变了篮球运动。乔丹的球技令人赞叹，然而他所展示出来的精神力量使他脱颖而出。在比赛的最后几秒钟，乔丹似乎总能找到办法获胜。乔丹说，他成功的秘诀在于从失败中学习。"我可以接受失败，每个人都会遭遇失败；但我决不能接受不去尝试。" 赛场上失利教会他更努力地训练和永不放弃。在生活中，乔丹学会了与他人分享自己的成功。他在芝加哥创建的"男孩女孩俱乐部"从1996年至今一直在帮助年轻人。

glory 名词：荣耀、光彩。课文原句 同上。
determination 名词：决心、坚定。课文原句 "her determination was tested."

三、一词多义与熟词生义
master 常见义动词"掌握"，课文中作名词"大师、高手"，a master in ... 是"……方面的大师"。
stand 常见义"站立"，课文中 "time seemed to stand still" 中 stand 意为"（保持）处于（某种状态）"，stand still 即"静止/凝固"。
heart 常见义"心脏"，课文中 "lose heart" 是固定搭配"灰心、丧失信心"，heart 引申为"勇气/信心"。
gold 常见义名词"黄金"，课文中 "Olympic gold" 指"奥运金牌"，gold 作名词表奖牌。
fail 常见义动词"失败"，课文中 "everyone fails at something" 与 "not trying" 对照，强调"不去尝试"更糟。
share 常见义"分享"，课文中 "share his success with others" 沿用本义，但搭配 success 显品格，写作可用。
四、重点词块

六、语法点清单
定语从句：that / who / which 引导，分别修饰 team / player / club。
时态：过去完成时（had built / had been injured）、现在完成进行时（has been helping since 1996），体现"先建后崩""持续助人"。
非谓语：Losing ...（动名词作主语）、learning from（动名词作表语）、becoming known as（动名词/被动）。
虚拟/条件：if they worked together as a team（真实条件，一般过去时表可能性）。
并列与转折：but / However 串联逆境与精神。归拢后：定语从句 + 时态交错 + 动名词主语/表语，是这篇传记的三条语法主线。
七、逻辑链
总起（选人标准）：用 must be masters + set examples 给出"活传奇"的两把尺子——实力与品格，为后文两人立靶。
↓
郎平·三重身份递进：As a player（带来荣誉）→ As a coach（带队夺牌）→ As a person（受爱戴）。由"外在成就"过渡到"个人魅力"。
↓
郎平·逆境转折：preparing for 2015 → team falling apart（伤病+队长离队）→ Losing two players was a challenge, but did not lose heart → if work together → 两周后夺冠 → 2016 奥运金牌。用 but 与 if 把"危机"扭转为"传奇"。
↓
乔丹·由技入道：feet left ground, time stood still（画面感开头）→ changed basketball（技术革新）→ mental strength made him unique（精神升华）→ secret is learning from failures（金句）→ share success with others（品格闭环）。
↓
共通内核：两人都贯穿"实力＋逆商＋利他"，正好呼应开头 set good examples，人物传记的"成就—挫折—精神"三段式清晰可见。
